Along the CTC there are a number of places where unique
PLACE-SPECIFIC INITIATIVES 4 Along the CTC there are a number of places where unique opportunities for improvements exist. To energize the process of community building in the Corridor, 69 Initiatives have been identified. These Initiatives respond to issues and challenges in specific places and support larger reurbanization efforts in the region. While the cost of many of these initiatives are not currently contained in municipal budgets, the Initiatives provide a canvas of opportunities and illustrate the range of potential for community building. Chapter 4 includes the following: 4.1 Place-Specific Initiatives - This section presents 69 Place-Specific Initiatives for the Corridor. These initiatives build on the 8 Community Building Opportunities (section 2.4) and apply these in terms of improvements to open spaces, community connections, neighbourhood protection, streetscaping, built form, transit experience, transportation choice and key destinations. 55 ve r St re et Ri Ho Dri ve eet eet t Cou rt Str Gre yha wk Eagle cre st Str Eag lecres Kra ft Kestrel Street Coopershawk

the Ainslie Street Terminal is an important transit hub and in many respects acts as the southern gateway to the region its current design and configuration could be improved. Large areas of asphalt, bus infrastructure that circles the site and grade changes cut the terminal off from the rest of the downtown and create an unpleasant environment for users. An opportunity exists to re-examine the character and role of the terminal, whether it makes sense for transit operations and whether it could be designed to integrate more seamlessly into the downtown. Strategies could include improved landscaping and street trees to enhance user comfort, integration of the terminal with new development and the creation of a new civic open space that can act as focus for adjacent development and improve connections between Ainslie Street and the station. Galt has a unique heritage character and fine grain of streets and open spaces. While activity in the downtown stagnated for a number of years, the recent addition of the University has helped to enhance activity and interest in the area. Recent streetscape enhancements have helped to set the stage for new investments. Efforts to reactivate the underutilized spaces, such as vacant stores or the upper level of shops, and encourage the development of vacant lots will help to bring new people and uses to the area who can live and work there on a 24 hour basis. Improved landscaping and street trees can help to create a more comfortable waiting environment for passengers. (Photo: Steve Morgan) 3 Celebrate the cultural heritage assets of Galt through interpretation and wayfinding at Ainslie Terminal Galt has a unique historic architectural legacy of limestone and granite buildings set against the Grand River. Main Street is designated a Heritage Conservation District and over the last few years older buildings that were once boarded up are being refurbished to their former glory and re-inhabited with new uses. In addition, the downtown contains a range of civic and cultural attractions including Cambridge Centre for the Arts, Cambridge Arts Theatre and City Hall that play an important role in the civic and cultural life of the community. An opportunity exists to improve access to and tell the story of these unique places through the introduction of interpretation signage and wayfinding at the Ainslie Street Terminal and throughout the downtown. 58 2 Continue to fill in the gaps and strengthen the Galt City Centre 4 Develop a series of new public spaces for the Central Transit Corridor The introduction of new residents and jobs to the existing built-up areas of Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo will have a significant impact on the look and feel of the region. An opportunity exists to leverage this new investment to identify and create a series of new open spaces along the Corridor. These spaces would have the potential to act as the address or focal point for new development, enhance existing station areas and improve the relationship between the RT Corridor, iXpress Corridors and wider community. Opportunities for new open spaces include: The Ainslie Street Terminal as a component of any station reconfiguration; At the Cambridge Centre as a component of a new, high density mixed-use centre; In the Cambridge Business Park to provide recreational amenity for the employees of the area; At the site of Fairview Park Mall as part of transforming the mall lands into a higher density mixed-use centre; At Cedar Station to create a new community related open space at the gateway to the downtown; At the Transit Hub in Kitchener as part of an area-wide redevelopment and to establish a gateway to the city and region; At the Sun Life parking lot during redevelopment; At University of Waterloo station; At the site of the new station for the Waterloo Central Railway Capture opportunities to access the * 5 Grand River by Transit The Grand River Valley is a defining characteristic of the region and includes a number of recreational and heritage features that add tremendous value to the community. The introduction of RT and investments in the iXpress network create an opportunity to explore new ways to access the river system by transit. In some instances such as in Preston or Galt where the river is more immediate, the opportunities may be easier to achieve. In other places such as at Sportsworld where the station is further from the river but within a short biking distance, improving access to the river may require a range of strategies including the improvement of existing connections, development of new connections and enhanced wayfinding. Improving access to the Grand River Valley from transit can help to strengthen the relationship of the region to this tremendous community asset. (Photo: Niikos) 6 Enhance the Water Street corridor as an important gateway to the Downtown 8 Enhance the image of Hespeler Road between Delta and Can-Amera Water Street is an important corridor linking Hespeler Road to the downtown. The introduction of new street trees and streetscaping would help to tie diverse buildings together, create a stronger setting for Galt Collegiate Institute and Vocational School and enhance the gateway to Downtown Galt and the river. The stretch of Hespeler Road between Delta and Can-Amera has a mixed character with residential, commercial, institutional and public service uses. The introduction of new generously planted street trees and streetscape enhancements would help to tie the many diverse buildings together and create a more positive impression on users travelling into and out of Galt. Improved connections and wayfinding to the YMCA and the integration of new development into the existing land uses will help to further enhance the area. 7 Improve the relationship of surrounding uses to the Delta Station 9 Design new stations as a series of transit beacons along Hespeler Road The Delta station is located at a wide intersection at the junction of Highway 8, Hespeler Road and Water Street. Though currently inhospitable for pedestrians, the intersection is an important transit interchange as it will connect the RT Corridor with an iXpress route heading northwest to Preston. Current developments such as the Babcock and Wilcox sites and Shopping Centre to the east of the station relate poorly to the intersection and work to further discourage access by pedestrians. In the short-term, the pedestrian environment could be improved through the creation of designated pedestrian pathways leading to and from key destinations. The introduction of RT is an important opportunity to kickstart the reurbanization of the street transforming Hespeler Road into a more appealing mixed-use avenue. In order to compensate for the larger scale of Hespeler Road, an opportunity exists to highlight the transit investment to residents and investors by designing stations to act as highly visible beacons along the street. Strategies could include the integration of public art, integration of special lighting treatments that illuminate the stations at night and/or the development of more substantial station shelters like the Züm shelters in Brampton. 9 8 7 6 2 1 3 4 Improved streetscaping along Hespeler Road would help to tie diverse buildings together and create a more positive image for users. More substantial station structures along Hespeler Road would help to highlight the transit investment (Photo: City of Brampton). 59 10 Establish a new centre along Hespeler Road At the midpoint between the three centres in Cambridge is the area around the Dumfries Conservation Area including the Cambridge Centre and the lands to the east and west of Hespeler Road. The large land holdings, existing mix of uses and open space create the potential for a significant amount of new development that could transform the area into high density mixed-use centre. The centre could be structured around a new smaller street and block pattern that would help to enhance access, support a mix of uses and building types and improve the walkability of the area. As a important natural feature within the area, The Dumfries Conservation Area would sit at the heart of this new urban community connected to existing neighbourhoods by a system of trails. The addition of new streets would enable the exploration of an alternative Hespeler Road Cross section with slightly reduced lanes and more generous pedestrian environment with wide sidewalks and street trees. West of Hespeler Road, an opportunity exists to explore the potential to control flooding and create an improved setting for new development through the renaturalization of Groff Mill Creek. Hespeler Road Today The large land holdings, existing mix of uses and open space create the potential for a significant amount of new development that could transform the area around the Cambridge Centre and Dumfries Conservation Area into high density mixed-use centre. Potential transformation of Hespeler Road over the long-term. 60 11 Preserve the Dumfries Conservation Area as a natural heritage asset adjacent to a new urban neighbourhood The Dumfries Conservation Area is a significant natural heritage resource which benefits from its proximity to the YMCA. As the area around the conservation area intensifies, an opportunity exists to transform the conservation area into Cambridge’s Central Park through park improvements aimed at enhancing access for area users and improving the environmental function of its natural systems. The Dumfries Conservation Area is a significant heritage resource. 13 Create a complete, green street along Hespeler Road The wide expanse of Hespeler Road with its signage and strips of commercial properties creates an image that is inconsistent with the quality and character of Cambridge and its intimate downtown centres. An opportunity exists in the short-term to enhance the street and put in place a legacy of street trees and landscaping that can grow as the street intensifies over time. In addition, improvements to the street can help to make it easier and safer for pedestrians and cyclists to use the Corridor through the addition of wider sidewalks, boulevards separating pedestrians and vehicles, and introduction of cycling facilities such as bike lanes or a street side multi-use trail. 12 Integrate the Cambridge Centre with a new RT and bus station 14 Improve the relationship of the existing commercial uses along Hespeler Road with the RT The plans to relocate the transit centre to the front of the Cambridge Centre creates an opportunity to create a more substantial station with the ability over time to be integrated either adjacent to or into the side of an expanded Cambridge Centre. The expansion of the Cambridge Centre out to the station would help to bridge the gap between the RT station and surrounding uses and help to highlight the station into the front of the Cambridge Centre. Not all of Hespeler Road can be expected to re-urbanize in the short to medium term and parts of the street may not change for many years. In the interim new development may be best encouraged to occur at key nodes along the street where the clustering of uses can have a more significant ability to create a more transit supportive environment. In the absence of substantial change, an opportunity exists to improve the relationship of existing uses to Hespeler Road and the RT by consolidating access points and putting in place a series of sidewalks that can define a street and block structure for new development over time. Requiring new buildings to relate differently to their surroundings and organizing pad developments so that they create more walkable urban moments along the street can significantly enhance both the image and accessibility of the Corridor. 14 13 12 10 11 Consolidating access points and requiring new buildings to relate to Hespeler Road could help to create a more walkable environment. (Photo: Bing Maps) 61 15 16 17 The Lovell Industrial Park is a large employment area located to the east of Hespeler Road. While much of the park may be out of walking distance from RT there are a substantial number of businesses located along Bishop Street, Pinebush Road and Conestoga Boulevard that will be within a 10 minute walk of the RT. Targeting pedestrian improvements along these three streets including the provision of sidewalks, street trees to provide shade during summer months and pedestrian-oriented lighting would help to make it easier for employees in these areas to walk to and from RT. These could be complemented by improvements in the frequency of transit service through the area which would help to transport employees to areas farther away from Hespeler Road. Once completed, the redesign of the iXpress network will constitute the most direct way to travel to and from Hespeler by transit. As currently identified, the aesthetics/urban design along the route leading to and from Hespeler are unappealing, employment uses on either side of the street are set back exposing large areas of surface parking, sidewalks are inconsistent and there is minimal streetscaping. The potential exists to improve the image and accessibility of the iXpress routes to Hespeler by implementing a series of streetscape improvements. Strategies could include: • Requiring sidewalks on either side of the street; • Planting street trees and placement of lighting standards along the routes; and • Requiring new buildings to relate differently to their surroundings by actively fronting the street and locating surface parking to the rear or side. Though located away from the RT Corridor, the proposed changes to the iXpress bus corridors will help to improve the relationship and connectivity of the village to the rest of the region. An opportunity exists to strengthen the village’s role as a unique destination within the region by improving the relationship of the village to the river and introducing new residential, retail and restaurant uses. The existing historical employment buildings along the river create an opportunity for new mixed-use developments that can enhance the vitality of the centre while older industrial lands west of the Speed River create the potential for newer higher-density mixed-use development. 18 19 Make it easier to walk or take transit to work from Hespeler Road Improve the relationship of development along Eagle Street North with the RT Eagle Street is the planned location of the second phase LRT from Preston to Hespeler Road. While the street is an important connection, the existing uses and buildings at the eastern end of Eagle relate poorly to the street with employment uses that are set back and housing that backs onto the street. In other areas, there is a narrow right of way with buildings immediately abutting and facing onto the street with a single narrow sidewalk along one side of the street. There will be a need to determine an appropriate cross section that will enable the insertion of LRT over time without compromising existing uses. The cross section should explore the potential for improved pedestrian and cycling facilities that can enhance connectivity between the historic centre of Preston and Hespeler Road. Enhance the iXpress bus corridors to Hespeler Village Define the 3 key parks as regional destinations (Riverside, Victoria, Waterloo) While there are many parks throughout the region, there are three parks - Riverside, Victoria, and Waterloo - that are operating at a regional level. As regional parks, the three host attractions and events that attract residents throughout the region. The potential exists to reinforce their role by coordinating events between them and marketing the parks as regional attractions located along the corridor. Riverside, Victoria and Waterloo Park are significant assets that are already regional destinations. (Photo: Niikos) 62 Elevate the role of Hespeler Village in the region Historic employment buildings along the Grand River in Hespeler create an opportunity for new mixed-use developments. 17 20 Celebrate the Riverside location of Preston Station with enhanced park connections and open spaces around the Station The Preston Station is the only station along the RT Corridor located immediately adjacent to the river valley system. The station will act as a gateway to the Speed and Grand River Valleys providing visitors and residents with an easy direct conduit to these areas. An opportunity exists to mark this important characteristic through open space enhancements and wayfinding that directs people to destinations along the river system. As an important trail connection, there may be the need for additional cycling amenities such as parking, fountains, bike pumps or other amenities that can support cyclists accessing the network. The Preston Station will act as an important gateway to the Speed and Grand Rivers. (Photo: Robert Andrews) 21 Encourage development to anticipate and be supportive of planned RT Station in Preston While located adjacent to the river, the planned location of the Preston stop is to the rear of an existing residential development and retail outlet. Partnerships with the existing owners should be explored to identify opportunities to improve the relationship of these uses to the station. Opportunities could include: • The provision of more generous connections to Eagle and King streets such as additional trails and walkways • The development of a path connecting the station to Riverside Park • The establishment of new retail and restaurant uses that can increase levels of activity and passenger safety adjacent to the station 16 18 22 Fill gaps and add new uses to King Street in Preston The Village of Preston has been called the closest thing to a classic main street within the region. The Village is walkable with a fine grain of mixed-use structures that facilitate a range of business types and uses. Over time there is the potential to fill in existing gaps in the street with sensitively integrated buildings that add new people and uses to the street. These would help to bridge the gap between the station and Argyle Street where the classic main street begins. To support this, strategies to reactivate the top floors of existing main street buildings and infill guidelines that facilitate appropriate building types and ease private investment should be explored. Reactivating the top floors of buildings and filling in the gaps along the street would help to support a more vibrant main street. 15 19 20 21 22 63 23 Integrate Conestoga College with expanded iXpress bus With over 9,000 full time and 35,000 part time students, Conestoga College is a major destination. By 2018, the College will be connected to the RT line by a series of iXpress bus corridors from Fairview Park Mall and Sportsworld. An opportunity exists to improve the relationship between existing college uses and buses accessing the station by formalizing the drop-off and pick-up areas into an actual station location with comfortable waiting spaces and active uses. The development of a connection linking the Doon Campus to the Cambridge Campus would help to improve connectivity between the north and south campuses reducing the need for students to take a car or shuttle service between the two campuses. 26 Enhance the experience of taking transit for employees of the Cambridge Business Park 24 Develop a transit supportive Cambridge Business Park and future employment area The Cambridge Business Park, North Cambridge Employment Area and East Side Lands represent a significant opportunity for expansion of employment lands within the region and new employment here will help to support the economic growth of the entire region. Given that so much of the land remains to be developed, the area represents a tremendous opportunity to put in place a building and land use pattern that can make the area one of the most transit supportive business parks in the country. In addition to promoting the development of a more transit supportive development pattern, opportunities for partnerships with area businesses for the expansion of the existing employee shuttle connecting workers to the station and/or discount employee passes to encourage higher levels of transit ridership should be explored. The Sportsworld Station will be an important point of access to the Cambridge Business Park and surrounding employment areas. The 24 hour characteristic of employment and manufacturing uses here mean that there is the potential for the station to be active during typical off-peak hours such as during the early morning, mid-afternoon and late evening. To support area employees, there will be a need to design the station with these unique patterns of usage in mind. Strategies could include providing sheltered waiting areas designed for comfort in all seasons and providing a higher level of passenger amenities such as lighting and seating for waiting off-peak users. Given the farther distances between destinations in the business park, the station makes a good candidate for longer term bike facilities that can enable employees to safely store their bikes and ride to and from work. Similarly, opportunities exist to improve the transit supportive nature of the Lovell Industrial Park in Cambridge,the Huron Business Park in Kitchener, and RIM Park in Waterloo. An opportunity exists to strengthen the relationship of the airport to the Cambridge Business Park, Fairview Park Mall and the South Kitchener Business Park to create distinct airport related employment clusters. This would also ensure that new development north along Fountain Street is built to a higher quality so that this street can act as a corporate gateway to the region from the airport. 27 Improve the relationship of retail and employment uses in Sportsworld with the Station The Sportsworld station area contains a large concentration of retail and employment uses as well as an important cluster of community sports facilities. An opportunity exists in the shortterm to put in place streetscape and parking lot enhancements that can make it easier to walk and cycle between these uses and the aBRT/ LRT. To the west of Sportsworld Station, enhancements to Sportsworld Drive will help to improve pedestrian and cycling connections between the Pioneer Tower neighbourhood and the station. There may also be the potential for connections from Sportsworld Drive to the Walter Bean Grand River Trail. 28 Improve connections between the King Street Corridor and the RT network Exploring partnerships with area businesses for the expansion of the existing employee shuttle connecting workers to the station and/or discount employee passes could help to encourage higher levels of transit ridership. 64 25 Strengthen the link between the Region of Waterloo International Airport and Cambridge Business Park, Fairview Park Mall and the South Kitchener Business Park King Street between Sportsworld Drive and Fairway Road contains a mix of retail, residential and commercial uses including the Grand River Hospital Freeport site. Though the area is not planned to be connected with the RT network, in the second phase when the southern leg of the Corridor is changed from aBRT to LRT the RT alignment will be running adjacent to the street. In the shortterm, the potential to improve pedestrian and cycling connections from this area to connect with the Fairview Park Mall and Sportsworld Stations should be pursued. 30 29 Improve the connections between Chicopee and the RT 24 Chicopee Resort is an important all season sports and banquet destination with skiing and winter activities during winter months and biking, camping and summer sports during summer months. While not on the RT or iXpress bus corridor there is the potential to enhance connectivity to the resort with enhanced cycling routes from Fairview Park Mall. In addition, the potential for specialized transit service during peak activity seasons to enable the passengers to take RT to the destination should be explored. 30 25 25 Connect the Region of Waterloo International Airport to the regional transit network The Region of Waterloo International Airport is an important destination that has the potential to not only connect residents with holiday destinations but support locally based national and international businesses with connections to major business destinations. An opportunity exists in the short-term to explore the potential for an airport shuttle from Fairview Park Mall Station that would take advantage of the new Fairway Road extension and make it possible to take the RT to the airport. Over the longer term the potential for a new iXpress bus route connecting the airport to the Transit Hub and either Fairview Park Mall or Sportsworld Station should be explored. 32 Improve the relationship of the Fairview neighbourhood to the Fairview Park Mall Station The Fairview neighbourhood has been characterized as having higher levels of transit ridership but relatively poor pedestrian and cycling facilities. Over the short-term, the ability to walk/ cycle to the RT should be made easier through the introduction of enhanced streetscaping along Greenfield Ave and Wilson Ave leading to and from the station area. These connections should be extended by working with the mall owners and RT team to introduce direct and clearly defined pedestrian connections between Kingsway Drive and the station. Over the longer term an opportunity exists to work with the owners of existing high-rise developments along Kingsway Drive to facilitate improvements or intensification that help to create a finer pattern of streets and blocks through the area and enhance the walking environment for pedestrians and cyclists. 25 29 Chicopee is an important all seasons destination that could benefit from improved connections to the RT network. (Photo: Eamonn) 31 Transform Fairview Park Mall into a walkable mixed-use centre Fairview Park Mall is a major destination along the RT Corridor, a major iXpress and local bus interchange and the proposed site of the LRT to aBRT interchange. The mall has the potential to accommodate significant growth on its parking areas, enhancing its role as an anchor along the RT Corridor and introducing a greater mix of uses within the station area. To capitalize on this, opportunities to improve the relationship between the mall and station facilities should be pursued. 28 32 31 26 27 23 Expansion of Fairview Park Mall over time should help to create a more walkable station area and improve the relationship of the mall to the station. 65 33 Support the reurbanization of Fairway Road over time The existing pattern of retail uses along Fairway Road is designed primarily for automobile users with buildings setback from the street and large areas of surface parking. In the shorter-term there is an opportunity to introduce streetscape enhancement and to improve the relationship of existing uses to Fairway Road and the RT Station. In the longer-term the introduction of new uses such as residential development that actively front Fairway Road will help to increase street life and activity after hours. 34 * There are several large employment clusters located throughout the region. While some of these are located in proximity to the RT Corridor, others are located at a distance from RT or iXpress routes making them less attractive for transit users. An opportunity exists to develop a strategy aimed at ensuring that all employees have the potential to reasonably commute to work by transit. The strategy will require a range of transit strategies including bus and specialized shuttle services and should be informed by community outreach to determine areas and times of greatest need. These should be complemented by strategies to improve pedestrian and cycling conditions such as sidewalks and streetscape enhancements that make it more comfortable for pedestrians, and cycling amenities such as designated routes and bike racks that make it easier for employees to travel from transit stops to their places of employment. 35 Fairway Road Today Making it easier to get to regional employment centres by transit Integrate existing and new development with the Block Line Station The planned site of the Block Line Station is not currently a destination but will become an important transfer point for transit users travelling into the RT Corridor from the west with high levels of transfer during peak periods. While adjacent neighbourhoods will remain relatively stable, the lands adjacent to the station have the potential to accommodate new development that can help to increase levels of activity in and around the station area. In addition to the new development at the station, the extension of Block Line Road will make it possible to improve connections to the ballparks, schools and sport complexes along Lennox Lewis Way and allow the Rockway neighbourhood to access these uses. The design of the new bridge infrastructure should support pedestrian and cycling access to these areas through the provision of pedestrian and cycling accommodations. Potential for reurbanization of Fairway Road over the long-term. 66 36* Complete a network of trails that extend throughout the region The Region has recently completed a master plan in support of active transportation throughout the region. This active transportation and trail network will play an important role in supporting a full range of multi-modal transportation throughout the region by enabling people to safely walk or cycle to key destinations and by connecting places away from iXpress and RT Corridors to the system. Where they exist, opportunities to complete the regional trail network should be pursued and included as important prerequisites of any site plan or development approvals process, street/infrastructure investment or public realm improvement. A complete regional trail network would enable people to safely walk or cycle to key destinations throughout the region. (Photo: Moon Angel - Flickr) 38 37 Transform the Ottawa/Borden corridor into a walkable mixed-use centre The area is also an important place in the regional cycling network and the southern entrance to the Iron Horse Trail. Opportunities to extend the Iron Horse Trail and further integrate it with the regional cycling network should be explored. Strategies could include extending the Iron Horse Trail south to connect it with bike lanes along Sydney and Bedford Rd to Mill Station or the creation of a complete street along Borden or Ottawa with complementary path connections which can connect the trail to the Ottawa/Borden and Mill Stations. 38 37 36 Encourage mixed-use development along King and Charles Streets There are a significant number of redevelopment sites located between King and Charles Street along the RT Corridor east of Downtown Kitchener and the area has been identified as having the potential to accommodate a new urban neighbourhood in Kitchener’s Downtown Action Plan and as a Mixed-Use Corridor in Kitchener’s Draft Official Plan. There is the potential over time to re-urbanize the Corridor through new infill development that actively addresses both King and Charles streets. New development here should support and enhance connections between the two streets, reinforce and extend the King Street main street south of Cedar and integrate with residential uses west of Charles. Improved sidewalks and new streetscaping along King and Charles streets will help to improve the walk to area destinations and enhance access and safety for students accessing Cameron Heights High School from King Street bus stops and the Cedar and Ottawa/Borden Street stations. 34 The Ottawa Borden Corridor has the potential to undergo significant change. There is a shift away from manufacturing towards other softer forms of employment uses and some abutting residential areas are in transition. The existing and previous employment uses have resulted in large parcels of land with very little street connectivity and where streets exist they have not been designed to adequately support pedestrians and cyclists. While the area is capable of significant redevelopment, the existing channelized creek through the area creates a significant flooding hazard on adjacent lands, which will act as a major challenge to new development. In order to facilitate change a comprehensive plan that addresses the needs over both the short and long-term should be developed. 35 33 The Ottawa/Borden district has the potential to transform over time into a walkable mixed-use centre with a mix of building types and new open spaces. 67 39* Enhance access by transit to clusters of health and community facilities in Downtown Kitchener Downtown Kitchener has the highest concentration of community services in the region. This area was identified as having a high concentration of people with specialized needs who thus require access to a range of health services. Developing a comprehensive inventory of all community services within the downtown and across the region and assessing the walk to those facilities from the nearest RT or iXpress station could help to identify opportunities to improve access to them for transit users. Improvements could include sidewalk or streetscape enhancements that improve accessibility, the identification of new connections that can help to minimize walking distances from transit or the elimination of barriers. This initiative could be supported by a program of wayfinding with signage located at stations and along key routes leading to and from community facilities. Over time, as new facilities are created or existing facilities are moved, locating community facilities throughout the Corridor and in close proximity to RT could help to increase their accessibility to a wider range of people. 42* Enhance the learning opportunities for high schools along the Corridor There are a number of high schools along the RT Corridor, each with their own areas of specialization and distinct facilities. While some high schools experience overcrowding, others with their distinct program set have less enrollment. An opportunity exists with RT to link the high schools along the line to create a singular educational experience. This would allow students to take specialized courses at schools along the Corridor without having to attend a single institution on a full time basis. 68 40* Strengthen access to the arts and cultural assets of the region The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery, Waterloo Region Museum and Cambridge Centre for the Arts are just a few of the many cultural attractions that exist across the region. In addition, the region is home to many cultural festivals including Oktoberfest, the Uptown Waterloo Jazz Festival, Kitchener Blues Festival and Cambridge’s Riverfest that attract people throughout the year. These destinations are an important part of a vibrant and healthy community and add to the region’s cultural richness. An opportunity exists to strengthen access to events and assets by developing a master inventory of facilities and events and identifying the ways in which they could be accessed by transit, bike, on foot or vehicle. The inventory could also identify peak periods of attendance which could then be used to coordinate transit scheduling or special transit services to improve access for transit riders. 43 * Improve the walk to school through Access to Safe Routes to School and other programs There are a number of elementary and high schools throughout the CTC. By identifying key routes leading to and from schools and initiating a series of streetscape improvements along those routes, an opportunity exists to complement the safe walk to schools initiative already in place and promote greater levels of walking and cycling throughout the CTC. Improvements could include signed markings indicating designated routes, sidewalk and crossing improvements to improve safety and the identification and designation of safe cycling routes supported by bike posts along the route and racks at school. These could be supported by maintenance programs to ensure that routes are passable at all times of year and school programs such as walking bus networks that actively encourage participation. 41* Connect the magnet schools along the line There are a series of magnet schools that attract students throughout the region for a range of specialized programs and training. These include: • Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute (Kitchener) • Forest Heights Collegiate Institute (Kitchener) • Galt Collegiate Institute and Vocational School (Cambridge) • Grand River Collegiate Institute (Kitchener) • Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate Institute (Kitchener) • Waterloo Collegiate Institute (Waterloo) • Preston High School (Cambridge) • Southwood Secondary School (Cambridge) • Huron Heights Secondary School (Kitchener) • Eastwood Collegiate Institute (Kitchener) • St. Louis Adult Learning and Continuing Education Centres (Kitchener and Cambridge) • St. Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School Alternative Education Program Schools (Kitchener and Cambridge) The extended reach of these schools means that many students must travel a greater distance to reach them. An opportunity exists to make it easier for students to take transit to school by enhancing the walk between transit stops/stations and the schools. Enhancements should be based on need but could include elements such as more generous sidewalks, improved lighting, crossing enhancements and more generous shelters and waiting facilities. In addition to specialized magnet schools there are a series of schools that offer students of Waterloo Region a school-to-work transition program designed and delivered in partnership with local industry. These offer a focus on skills-based programming which gives students the opportunity to obtain experience in the workplace before leaving secondary school. The development of partnerships with businesses along the RT and iXpress bus corridors will help to make it possible for students in the Fast Forward program to access their places of employment on the transit network. Schools participating in the program include: • Glenview Park Secondary School (Cambridge) • Grand River Collegiate Institute (Kitchener) • Jacob Hespeler Secondary School (Cambridge) • Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate & Vocational School (Kitchener) • Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary School (Waterloo) 44 Improve the walk between RT and the Kitchener Market Cedar station is located a block away from the Kitchener Market in the Downtown’s Market District. An opportunity exists to develop a streetscape and wayfinding strategy that helps to strengthen the walk between the station and market. This could include narrower street widths in order to create additional space for pedestrians, more generous sidewalks and market supportive uses at grade such as vendor stalls and live/work units. 44 Cedar Street Today Potential improvements to the walk between RT and the Kitchener Market over the long term. 69 45 Continue the infill and revitalization of Downtown Kitchener Downtown Kitchener is the region’s largest centre of employment. The area has undergone significant change in recent years with the transformation of the Downtown’s industrial heritage buildings into new residential and technology based employment buildings and the reconstruction and streetscaping of King Street. The Strategic Plan, which has guided the evolution of the downtown since 1995, was recently updated. The new plan extends the idea of 4 downtown districts, the City Centre, Market, Civic and Innovation District with a series of goals and strategies for each. The City and BIA play, and will continue to play, a significant role in promoting greater levels of activity within the downtown through active programming. New streetscaping along King Street has helped to significantly enhance the image of the downtown. 47 Improve access to Bingemans by transit and other active modes of transportation Bingemans conference and recreation complex in Kitchener is a major regional attraction offering year-round indoor and outdoor activities including a popular water park, wedding venue, conference centre and camping. The complex is slated for expansion to include an additional eating establishment and new recreational attractions. While the venue is located away from the RT Corridor it will be within a reasonable walk from the new Victoria Street iXpress service. The venue is also located along the Grand River Bike Trail. Improving transit, cycling and pedestrian access to this facility will help support and improve travel options to this destination by both residents and tourists to the region. Improvements could include new pedestrian-oriented lighting and crossing enhancements along Bingemans Centre Drive, establishment of a new pedestrian connection from Victoria Street and Natchez Road across the rail corridor to the park and/or improved wayfinding signage. 70 48 46 Improve access to the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium The Kitchener Memorial Auditorium is a 7,000 plus seat hockey arena located to the east of the Ottawa Borden Station, which is home to the Ontario Hockey League’s Kitchener Rangers. The facility is also an important venue that plays host to numerous concerts and special events. While the venue is served by a substantial amount of surface parking, traffic throughout the neighbourhood during events is high and there are not enough spaces for everyone. An opportunity exists to encourage higher levels of access to the venue by transit by improving the walk to the complex from the Ottawa Borden Station. Streetscape enhancements along Ottawa Street and Borden Avenue, including intersection improvements, pedestrian lighting and the addition of wayfinding could help to make it more attractive for visitors to take the RT to events. These could be complemented by a program of advertising that would describe the benefits of taking RT to big events including the ability to avoid traffic, ease of access and avoiding the potential for drinking and driving. Use redevelopment of the Charles Street Terminal to connect Victoria Park to the RT The relocation of some of the operations at the Charles Street Terminal to the Transit Hub as part of the GRT network redesign creates an opportunity for a series of mixed-use development around the site of the Charles Street Station. Large public land holdings in the area create an opportunity to plan comprehensively for the redevelopment of this area so that it can contribute to the vibrancy of the downtown and improve the relationship of Victoria Park, a significant community asset within the downtown, to the wider City Centre District. The redevelopment of the Charles Street terminal creates an opportunity to improve the relationship between Victoria Park and the RT Corridor. (Photo: Niikos) 49 Improve the relationship of Victoria Park to the Iron Horse Trail The current connection between the Iron Horse Trail and Victoria Park is located at the site of a parking lot on the western edge of the park. The location creates a circuitous connection between the park pathways and trail system and there is little indication of what the trail connects with. An opportunity exists to improve the entrance to the Iron Horse Trail from Victoria Park making it a better gateway between the two systems. This should be supported with new wayfinding that highlights key destinations within both the park and along the Iron Horse Trail cycling network. 50 Create an integrated multi-modal hub at the Transit Hub Station The Transit Hub Station is the site of a planned multi-modal hub linking the RT and bus network to other cities via inter-regional rail and bus services. This elevates the station area within the geography of the wider network making it a strategic location not only for residents but for businesses looking to be connected to Toronto and other significant employment centres in neighbouring areas. The site of the immediate station is currently undergoing a land use and transportation study to understand how the station lands can evolve into a mixed-use transportation hub over the longer term. This should be complemented by a more comprehensive multi-modal hub plan that encompasses the major areas of change within a 10 minute walk of the station. 47 36 45 50 46 51 51 Transform the King Street Corridor through midtown into a mid-rise avenue with new buildings and uses that integrate with the surrounding neighbourhoods The King Street corridor is an important link between the two downtowns. Comprised of a wide range of building types and uses ranging from single family housing to large apartments, businesses and institutional buildings the area has developed into an important medical cluster within the region anchored by the Grand River Hospital to the north and Health Sciences Campus to the south. Large blocks of surface parking, both stand-alone and to the rear and sides of existing lower density buildings creates the potential for significant re-urbanization over time. New midrise infill development on underutilized sites will help to support a range of new people and uses, transforming the character of the street while integrating sensitively with adjacent low-rise neighbourhoods. 48 49 36 The planned mobility hub at the Transit Hub Station will evolve over the longer term into a mixed-use transit area. 71 52 Create a green, tree-lined avenue along King Street between Uptown Waterloo and Downtown Kitchener While King Street is an important connection between the downtown, midtown and uptown centres, the current streetscaping along the stretch is inconsistent and defined by a mix of large and small boulevards, driveways and surface parking lots. An opportunity exists to identify a consistent street cross-section and landscaping treatment that can help to unify the street, set the stage for new development and make it friendlier for pedestrians and cyclists. The extension of Dodds Lane over time would help to support this initiative by reducing the need for front facing surfacing parking or access driveways. 53 Grand River Hospital (GRH) is the largest health service provider in Waterloo Wellington providing a full range of health care services. GRH largely services the Waterloo Wellington area but also receives patients from other areas of the province. With the introduction of a rapid transit station in front of the hospital, an opportunity exists to improve landscaping on and around the hospital property to enhance user comfort. There is also an opportunity to improve pedestrian walkways and connections to the new station. With further intensification there is an opportunity to strengthen the link between GRH and the technology, academic, and medical cluster within the region. GRH is currently land locked with very little opportunity for horizontal expansion. 54 King Street Today at Union 72 Transform the Sun Life parking lot into a mixed-use block with shared parking opportunities The Sun Life parking lot is a large strategic redevelopment site located between Uptown Waterloo and Downtown Kitchener. If parking were to be accommodated in parking structures, the site has the potential to contain a greater mix of uses and in particular new commercial space that could serve the needs of both Sun Life and the Grand River Hospital. Redevelopment of the site should explore the potential for shared parking arrangements accessed via Mutual Street that can serve the needs of the immediate neighbourhood retail and commercial uses. An opportunity for the incorporation of a new public space off of King Street that can act as a focus for new development and provide amenity for area workers and hospital guests should be explored. 55 Potential green, tree-lined avenue along King Street over the long-term. Improve the relationship between the hospital, the station and its neighbours Continue the transformation of Uptown Waterloo into a vital urban centre Uptown Waterloo is home to one of the most successful downtown/main street reurbanization projects in the country. Over the last 10 years the area has transformed from a downtown mall into a mixed commercial retail area with new uses that face onto the street and an uptown square that acts as the focus for public activity. An opportunity exists to build on the accomplishment and continue to infill the remaining surface parking lots with new developments that line and animate the streets. The implementation of RT on King and Caroline Streets creates the potential for partnerships between the BIA, City and RT team for new streetscaping that enhances the attractiveness of Uptown and helps to integrate the RT into the street. 56 * Leverage municipally owned lands to implement shared parking strategies To make more efficient use of municipally owned parking lots in Uptown Waterloo, Downtown Kitchener and Downtown Cambridge shared parking arrangements with neighbouring properties should be encouraged. Along with better utilization of these lands, these arrangements will also help reduce capital and operating costs for both the city and the shared users. 58 57 Enhance Waterloo Park and sensitively integrate RT into the Park Waterloo Park is an important destination within the City of Waterloo and wider region. When completed, the Seagram Station will become the new station for large civic events in the park. New park connections and the organization of destinations should help to facilitate access for people accessing the park via RT. Improve the walk from Seagram Station to Wilfrid Laurier University 58 Wilfrid Laurier is situated within a five minute walk of Seagram Station along Seagram Drive and will become an important link between the university and the RT network. In order to support movement between the station and university a series of improvements should be initiated. These could include streetscape enhancements such as widened sidewalks, pedestrian lighting and streetscaping that improve the walk from the station as well as improved cycling facilities such as cycling lane enhancements and increasing levels of bike parking at either end of Seagram Drive. 57 55 54 53 52 Over the longer term, filling in existing surface parking lots with new uses will help to increase activity levels along Seagram Drive and make the walk more enjoyable. Along the northern edge of Seagram Drive new development or retrofitting existing uses should be encouraged to create a more positive building relationship with the street. This could include changes that would increase natural surveillance such as reduced building setbacks and orientation of entrances towards the street and changes that would enhance levels of activity such as the introduction of active street level uses. Streetscape improvements along Seagram Drive will help to improve the walk and ride for students between the station and Wilfrid Laurier campus. (Photo: tcat.ca) 73 59 Improve the walk from Seagram Station to the University of Waterloo There are a range of departments and destinations along the southern edge of the University of Waterloo to which the Seagram Station will be an important point of access. Movement to and from these areas should be facilitated through enhancements to Seagram Drive which would include the addition of sidewalks, pedestrian-oriented lighting and landscape improvements aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety. These would be supported by the creation of new pathways through Waterloo Park that more directly connect the station with the southwestern edge of the campus. 62 60 Prepare King Street for potential longterm RT expansion The King Street corridor between Conestoga Mall and Uptown Waterloo is rapidly intensifying with plans for even greater levels of intensification over time. The high density, mixed-use characteristic of the corridor makes it a potential candidate for future extensions to the existing planned RT system. Building on proposed iXpress transit service, considerations for future RT extension down King Street should be identified and built into the development approvals process to ensure that new development does not inhibit the extension of the system and can positively support RT and potential future station locations over the longterm. Create a station plaza at the university that strengthens connections between transit services and stitches the two sides of the university together The space between the University of Waterloo RT station and the university is a highly travelled area crossed by thousands of students each day travelling between classes or to the campus from residential neighbourhoods to the east. An opportunity exists to transform the space into a transit plaza that seamlessly integrates pedestrians, cyclists, buses and the RT Corridor to create a focus for activity and enhanced multi-modal transportation at the heart of the university. 61 Transform the eastern edge of the University of Waterloo into an urban campus The eastern edge of the University of Waterloo campus is currently divided in two by the Waterloo Spur and planned RT Corridor. In addition, the existing ring road creates a circuitous route between University Avenue and Columbia Street which will hinder planned connections between future RT and iXpress bus services. An opportunity exists to redefine the eastern edge of the campus through the redesign of the ring road and the introduction of a new street and block pattern between the University and Phillip Street. This would help to create alternative routing options for iXpress bus services improving transfer times, reducing bus operating time, distance, and cost, and would create better connectivity between the Northdale neighbourhood and the university. It would also help to define a series of parcels for new development with the potential to add density and academic uses in and around the station area. 63 Infill the R&T Park with new buildings and uses that can enhance the walk to work and cater to the needs of local employees The planned R&T Station is located at the eastern edge of the Research&Technology Park. While the area is serviced by sidewalks, they do not always follow desire lines and the longer travelling distances between uses and large areas of surface parking create an inhospitable environment for pedestrians and cyclists. An opportunity exists to locate new development along key pedestrian and cycling routes within the R&T Park which can help to improve the transit supportiveness of the area by creating visual interest and enhanced amenities for pedestrians and cyclists. The introduction of new retail and service uses such as restaurants or dry cleaners could help to further improve the transit supportiveness of the area by enabling employees to walk to lunch or run errands without having to drive. The creation of a transit plaza that integrates pedestrians, cyclists and transit would help to create an enhanced multi-modal transportation hub at the heart of the University of Waterloo. (Photo: ACEC of Michigan Inc.) 74 64 Develop a new street and block pattern east of the R&T Station to make it easier to walk to work and support the addition of new buildings or uses over time To the east of the R&T Park, large lots and employment uses surrounded by surface parking have combined to make an environment that is difficult for pedestrians and cyclists. An opportunity exists to identify and gradually introduce a new street and block pattern that can improve the ability to walk or cycle through the area and support new development and/or intensification to existing uses over time. In the short-term this could take the form of sidewalks and driveways that provide shared access between uses. In the longer term, the introduction of retail and commercial services in and around the station area would help to make it possible for employees taking the RT Corridor to run errands on their way to and from work or eat lunch without having to drive somewhere else. 65 Encourage transit supportive development along Northfield Drive The NCR lands represent a strategic redevelopment site across from Northfield station at the gateway to the Northfield Employment lands. The redevelopment of the lands is an excellent opportunity to introduce a new street and block pattern that can improve connections between the RT station and adjacent employment uses while supporting pedestrians and cyclists and acting as the framework for new development over time. In addition, the introduction of retail and commercial services in and around the station area would help to make it possible for employees taking the RT Corridor to run errands on their way to and from work or eat lunch without having to drive somewhere else. 65 64 60 63 61 The development of a new street and block pattern east of the RT station would help to make it easier for employees there to walk to and from the RT. (Photo: Bing Maps) 62 59 Potential transit-supportive employment-related development along Northfield Drive. 75 66 76 Continue the transformation of Northfield Employment Lands into a higher value employment centre with new businesses and other supporting uses 67 Make it easier to walk to and from Northfield Station Much of the Northfield Employment Lands are undergoing a transformation from predominantly industrial uses to one of hightech manufacturing and office uses. While the area is planned to support this, an opportunity exists to support this transition through the introduction of new retail and business services in appropriate locations that can enhance the attractiveness of the area for new office and business users. These should be supported with streetscape enhancements such as sidewalks and cycling lanes aimed at supporting pedestrians and cyclists who work in the area. Transportation demand management programs, such as employer purchased transit passes should be included in the planning of all modes for the area. Northfield station is located in the midst of a large employment area undergoing significant change and new investment. To the north of the station the former NCR lands have the potential to accommodate significant new office, retail and hotel uses while the lands to the west of the station are being converted from lighter industrial to more medium density office uses. The Northfield station will also be an important point of transfer for passengers taking buses east and west along Northfield Drive. Transfers between buses and RT services should be supported by providing enhanced streetscaping between Parkside Drive and the station on either side of Northfield Drive. This should include wider sidewalks, new street trees and pedestrian oriented lighting. Designing new buildings to orient towards the street and providing new infrastructure such as sidewalks would help to support pedestrians and cyclists who work in the area. Streetscape improvements along Northfield Drive between Parkside Drive and the station would help to support transfers between bus and RT services. Effort should be made to make it easier for employees to walk between the NCR lands and Northfield station through the addition of a new signalized crossing point at Northfield Drive adjacent to the rail corridor. Access to the station could also be enhanced through the addition of a southern entrance and the formalization of a new mid-block connection west to Parkside Drive. 69 68 Grow Conestoga Mall to meet the RT and integrate it with surrounding neighbourhoods and development The Conestoga Mall is a highly successful mall with the potential for significant growth over time. The planned RT station will be located at the front of the mall in the boulevard on the eastern side of King Street. An opportunity exists to align RT with the bus drop-off to create a strong pedestrian link between transit services and the mall. As the mall expands outward over time the potential to improve its relationship with the station facilities by either integrating it with, or around the new facilities should be explored. This would help to bridge the gap between the RT and mall and enhance the waiting experience for passengers. Across King Street lower density employment uses have the potential for infill, redevelopment and intensification over time. Establishing a full intersection at the King Street entrance to the mall and establishing a new street and block pattern in this area would help to enhance access to the station while supporting the redevelopment of this area. 69 Improve the connection with St. Jacobs St. Jacobs is an important tourist destination within the region and home to a large Mennonite community which is largely transit dependant in terms of their ability to travel throughout the region and beyond. The coordination of operating times between local bus, RT and interregional transit services during peak periods will help to facilitate transit connections between St. Jacobs, the tri-cities and Greater Golden Horseshoe via GO services. This would be complemented by the addition of intercity-wayfinding information located at Conestoga Mall and the new Waterloo Central Railway Station in Northfield. In order to facilitate access to transit by members of the Mennonite Community, opportunities for horse and buggy facilities located at key destinations that connect to the RT along Northfield Drive should be explored. 68 66 67 Opportunities for horse and buggy facilities located at key destinations in the Northfield area would help to enhance access for members of the Mennonite community.
